Albumin ELISA Kits
Albumin ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kits are designed to quantitatively measure albumin levels in various biological samples such as serum, plasma, urine, and cell culture supernatants. Albumin is a major protein in blood plasma, produced by the liver, and it plays a crucial role in maintaining osmotic pressure and transporting substances in the blood.
Content of Albumin ELISA Kits
- Microplate:
- A 96-well plate pre-coated with anti-albumin antibodies. This plate captures the albumin present in the sample.
- Standards:
- Known concentrations of albumin used to create a standard curve for quantifying the albumin in unknown samples.
- Detection Antibody:
- An enzyme-linked anti-albumin antibody that binds specifically to the captured albumin on the plate.
Technical Procedure
- Sample Preparation:
- Dilute samples and standards appropriately with the provided sample diluent.
- Plate Loading:
- Add standards and samples to the wells of the microplate.
- Incubation:
- Incubate the plate to allow albumin to bind to the coated antibodies on the microplate.
- Washing:
- Wash the wells to remove unbound substances.
- Addition of Detection Antibody:
- Add the enzyme-linked detection antibody to each well and incubate.
Applications
- Clinical Diagnostics: Monitoring albumin levels in patients, particularly for liver function and kidney diseases.
- Research: Studying protein expression and regulation in various biological systems.
- Pharmaceutical: Evaluating the effects of drugs on albumin levels in preclinical and clinical studies.
